Dev Mazumar of 4Front Tech wrote here some time ago they had/were working on an alsa emulation in (commercial) OSS.

It's rather a question of making applications support !ALSA or at least some middleware. Inventing yet another API and replacing OSS with it will not produce application support out of thin air (but instead would leave FreeBSD without any application support at all). -- ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | lofi@freebsd.org (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBA9AfPXhc68WspdLARAvccAJ94twWHXGSjB1V2O9K9aJdhi/i+YACfRDkj GyPKrsk47QXxlF8qN4GumfU= =4KOA -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
